MSE PRO Multiple Order Waveplates, Quarter or Half Retardance
MSE PRO™ Multiple Order Waveplates, Quarter or Half Retardance
MSE PRO™ Multiple Order Waveplates have a wide range of applications, as they are made from quartz crystals and offer both λ/2 and λ/4 retardance options. The thickness of a multiple order wave plate is equal to multiple full-wave thicknesses plus a desired delay thickness. These waveplates are perfect for applications with a wavelength deviation of less than +/- 1% from the design wavelength. Compared with zero order waveplates, multiple order plates are relatively easy to manufacture, which is popular among lab researchers.
MSE Supplies offers multiple order waveplates made of durable quartz crystals with retardance of λ/2 and λ/4. For more information, please contact us.
